Those caterpillars were the only bugs I liked as a child, maybe because they have fur and don’t have the classic bug eyes my phobia didn’t kick in. Until that is one of them bit me, that confirmed that I was right all along to be afraid and adults lied about little bugs not being able to hurt big me.
Didn’t trust adults after that, still don’t :lol:

He was a part of some extended Free Speech demonstrations which involved negotiating with (?campus) police of the UC/ Berkeley Campus, about being allowed to have events on campus which involved off-campus topics, such as elections,etc.

I found a really interesting photo (everybody is all politely dressed in button down shirts, neatly trimmed short hair and khaki slacks; so it all SEEMS quite civil at the point of the photo shutter). Oct 1964

I attempted to c/ paste that link/ page here to show ya, but when I attempted
to copy the link for the page, something in the programmed code changes the line of text in the address bar.
Oh well, best-laid plans …

I LUVLUVLUV those caterpillars! My favouritest little wee creatures evah. They used to abound, but haven’t seen them much in past few years. hmmm…could be ’cause I don’t “go out to the woods” so much anymore – my teddy bear’s too old for picnics!
